Question

But how can I get the full path to th

Answer 1

All content in src/test/resources is copied into target/test-classes folder. So to get file from test resources during maven build you have to load it from test-classes folder, like that:

Paths.get(
    getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().toURI()
).resolve(
    Paths.get("somefile")
).toFile()

Break down:

1. getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().toURI() - give you URI to target/test-classes.
2. resolve(Paths.get("somefile")) - resolves someFile to target/test-classes folder.
